Detailed Description

Glujiyo-MV is a combination medicine used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels by improving the body’s response to insulin and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Metformin works by decreasing glucose absorption and improving insulin sensitivity, while vildagliptin enhances the action of incretin hormones that stimulate insulin release and reduce glucagon secretion after meals. This combination is used when diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy is not sufficient to achieve adequate glycemic control. It should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional, usually with meals to reduce stomach upset. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is advised, and patients should inform their doctor about any kidney, liver, or heart conditions before starting treatment. At Jiyyo, we bridge the gap between quality and affordability. Glujiyo-MV is manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities following strict global safety standards. Because of our commitment to excellence, Jiyyo's own network of doctors frequently prescribes this medicine, ensuring patients receive reliable treatment they can trust.  

Uses

• Glujiyo-MV used to treat type 2 diabetes. Metformin helps lower blood sugar by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reducing sugar production in the liver.
• Vildagliptin works by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones, which help regulate blood sugar levels. Together, they help control blood sugar levels and improve overall diabetes management.

Benefits

• Improved Glycemic Control: The two medicines work in a complementary way to lower blood glucose levels more effectively than either drug alone.
• Reduced Risk of Complications: By managing blood sugar, the medication lowers the risk of serious diabetes-related health problems, including:
  • Kidney damage (nephropathy)
  • Eye damage (retinopathy/blindness)
  • Nerve problems (neuropathy)
  • Heart disease and stroke
  • Loss of limbs
  • By choosing Jiyyo’s generic version, you receive the exact therapeutic benefit of the leading brand at a fraction of the cost, backed by our quality guarantee.

Side Effects

• Hypoglycemia
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• While Jiyyo’s doctors trust this product, please consult a healthcare professional before use. Jiyyo is committed to your safety and transparency.

How drug works

Metformin reduces liver glucose production, slows gut sugar absorption, and boosts insulin sensitivity, while Vildagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) tells the pancreas to release more insulin and less glucagon after meals, effectively lowering blood sugar from different angles for better control.

How Metformin Works (Biguanide):

Reduces Liver Sugar: Decreases glucose (sugar) produced by your liver.

Slows Gut Absorption: Delays how quickly sugar gets into your bloodstream from food.

Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Helps your body use its own insulin more effectively.

How Vildagliptin Works (DPP-4 Inhibitor):

Boosts Insulin Release: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar is high (especially after eating).

Reduces Glucagon: Decreases glucagon, a hormone that tells the liver to release stored sugar.

Our formulation ensures optimal bioavailability, meaning the body absorbs the active ingredients efficiently to provide faster relief.

Safety advice

• Key Safety Advice & Precautions
  • Take with food: Always take the tablets during or just after a meal to reduce the chance of an upset stomach, nausea, or diarrhea.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol: Alcohol consumption significantly increases the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition.
  • Monitor kidney and liver function: Your doctor will perform blood tests to check your kidney and liver function before starting treatment and regularly thereafter.
  • Watch for serious symptoms: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of:
    • Lactic acidosis: Deep and rapid breathing, persistent nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, muscle cramps, or unusual tiredness.
    • Liver problems: Abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
    • Pancreatitis: Severe and persistent pain in the abdomen that might radiate to your back.
  • Hypoglycemia awareness: This combination alone rarely causes low blood sugar. However, the risk increases if you take other anti-diabetic medicines like insulin or sulfonylureas, skip meals, or over-exercise. Carry a form of sugar (glucose tablets, fruit juice, or candy) to treat low blood sugar quickly if symptoms (shaking, sweating, irritability, dizziness) occur.
  • Inform your doctor before procedures: Tell your doctor if you are due to have surgery under general anesthesia or an X-ray procedure involving an iodinated contrast agent, as you may need to stop the medication temporarily.
  • Do not stop suddenly: Continue taking the medicine as long as your doctor prescribes it, even if you feel better. Stopping abruptly can cause your blood sugar levels to rise. 
  Contraindications

  • Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

  Always consult your healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding your specific medical conditions and any other medications you are taking.
